Canadian Brass Holiday Special
Dec. 13, 2024
For over 40 years, the Canadian Brass has earned the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group,” and for good reason! Their repertoire spans centuries and styles, from Baroque music to Dixieland, along with brand new compositions and special arrangements of familiar favorites. Not to mention that each of their performances is sure to bring entertainment, spontaneity, virtuosity and, most of all, fun – but never at the expense of the music.
They’re also no strangers to the holiday season – they’ve recorded and released nearly 10 Christmas albums since 1985 – and the group is especially noted for their famous Holiday Concerts at Christmas time. We’ll enjoy one of those concerts from Tucson’s Fox Theatre, with a Canadian Brass Christmas. Listen for seasonal favorites like White Christmas and The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, as well as music spanning from Johann Sebastian Bach to Glenn Miller.
